heterozygous
Yes, recessive alleles can be present in hybrid organisms. A hybrid typically results from the crossbreeding of two different species or strains, and it can carry both dominant and recessive alleles from its parent organisms. The recessive alleles may not be expressed in the phenotype if a dominant allele is also present, but they can still be inherited and potentially expressed in future generations if paired with another recessive allele.
The term "hybrid" is often used to describe an individual with a heterozygous genotype, which means they have two different alleles for a particular gene. This contrasts with a homozygous genotype, where an individual has two identical alleles for a specific gene.
A hybrid individual inherits one allele from each parent for a particular gene. These alleles can be different versions of the same gene, which result in the hybrid individual having a combination of traits from each parent.
An organism that has two different alleles for a single trait is called heterozygous. This means that the organism inherited different versions of the gene responsible for that trait from each parent.
An allele for tall in a hybrid pea plant represents the gene that codes for the trait of tall height. In the case of a hybrid plant, there are two alleles for height, one inherited from each parent. If both alleles are for tall height (TT or Tt), the plant will exhibit the tall trait.
Another way to express something is heterozygous is to say it has dual alleles. There is a dominant and recessive allele. Alleles determine which traits something will have. Normally this is expressed in a single allele.
